Resembling the tail spikes of the childhood favorite dinosaur these polymer clay beads look dangerous but are not very sharp.
The spikes are blunt and flexible. These also look like sea urchin spikes but of course the color is not a match.
The polymer clay comes out like a hard rubber texture after the 15 minute curing in the oven.
Here's another design you might like.
The longer spikes are held apart by small drum shaped beads. The edge stitching pattern secures all the spikes and beads together. Read more about how to make this type of rope bracelet in
